Lets go down the list Kennedy/Nixon well tricky dick had much more experience on Kennedy. Carter/Ford not even close a setting President against a governor.Bill Clinton/G H Bush again not even close G W Bush/ Gore again so all this media attention and candidates talking about there experience is non sense.I think all this has been over played and most people vote on a candidate that they like.

5. Hardly ever, which is unfortunate. '08 may be the exception.
After 8 years of Dumbass, people may be looking for competency.

9. How can you have experience if you never held the job?
You only have experience when you are re-elected for a second term.
